Pollard says score is about Par .. its what he would naturally say .. all depends on the big players .. Malinga bowling, Pollard, Ludemann, Klinger, Fergusen etc.
Here's the reply ..
Strikers 3-0 after 1, Stars 1.40
Strikers 12-0 after 2, Stars 1.47 .. I have to lay this price .. Small ..
Strikers 22-0 after 3, Stars 1.45 .. I have to lay some more ..
Strikers 34-0 after 4, Stars 1.52 .. Not sure why price isn't correcting more ..
Malinga on to bowl .. He's all class, but mkt expecting miracles.
Wkt - Klinger 14 from 13, Stars 1.33
Strikers 37-1 after 5, Stars 1.36 .. Wkt off last ball of Malingas over .. Not the best .. Still with Strikers
A lucky boundary, followed by a good 4, price back to pre-wkt
Strikers 49-1 after 6, (stars 53-1 at same stage), Stars 1.57 .. Still looks a lay, but have already laid, plenty.
Next ball, 6 .. Stars 1.70 .. Took some profit ...
Wkt - Ludeman 30 from 21, Stars 1.47
Strikers 57-2 after 7, Stars 1.42 .. Gone flat, as Malnga can be held back for Pollard.

Wkt - Reardon 7 from 6, Stars 1.36 .. Pollard comes in ..
Strikers 71-3 after 9, Stars 1.29 .. Game v risky now, gone 100% flat.
Strikers 82-3 after 10, Stars 1.43 .. Malinga still got 3, otherwise, would be laying.
